What’s all this?

I’ve been traveling, poking around, eating, snapping photos and soaking up other culture for a long, long time. Thought it’s about time to share some of my adventures….

Lunch!

When you live in Italy you have to grow your own Asian herbs. I found some lemongrass (citronella) in an Asian market in Rome and sprouted some of the stalks. So here is what I have now. I’m anxious for these two to start sprouting babies around the base, then I know I will have done something successfully. #lemongrass #seasian #freshherbs #asianfood #thai #vietnamesefood #citronella

My mountain last night, Being from the window of my apartment in Ascoli Piceno. #ascoli #ascolipiceno #mountain #mountains

Today for lunch, La Professoressa and I had tagliatelle made with flour from an ancient grain called Timilia, fro Sicilia. The results were delicious. If you can find a flour made from this grain in the United States, please try it. It is a little hard to work because it is very low in gluten, but the glycemic index is fantastic an hour after eating this my blood sugar was normal. #pastafresca #pastafattaamano #timilia #tagliatelle #wholegrain #integrale #homemadepasta

Rieti in Summer. In the foreground on the left side especially you can see the remains of a 2000-year-old Roman bridge which crossed the Velino River. #rieti #velino #ponteromano #romanbridge #romanruins

Happy birthday to my sweet mom (she's the babe on the right). She would have been 98 today! I'll throw her a Snickers candy bar next time I drive near the spot on Interstate 35 near Waco where she died in 1997...Love you St. Frances!

Sunday, La Professoressa and I went to the small town of Fabriano (Blacksmith Town) about 2 hours from Terni (where she lives). Why? Because for some reason the city's art museum has on loan from The Hermitage, one of Leonardo di Vinci's early paintings, now known as the Madonna of Benois. I just have to say it was stunning! Less than two feet high, the rendering, color and emotion contained in the work are mind-blowing. For anyone living in Central Italy, get in your cars now and go see this thing, it will only be there until the 30th of June. Simply stunning! This is my photo, the lighting was very, very yellow, so even after a bit of color correction, this thing is still yellow! #leonardodivinci #leonardodavinci #madonnadibenois #fabriano

Happy late Father’s Day to the father of Ruby Moon, la Nipotina più bella! #fathersday #baby #bambino #filhote #brazilianamerican #bebe
